WICCD is Canada’s first national advocacy organization solely for women—those who identify as female or as gender non-conforming—working in criminal defence.
WICCD provides a safe and inclusive space for us all to share our experiences and to support and celebrate one another. It aims to advance the interests of women in the defence bar and to address the current crisis of women leaving the bar in unprecedented numbers. WICCD is mindful of gender-based discrimination our members routinely face, including implicit biases, and will advocate for solutions to ensure genuine equality for women in criminal defence on a systemic level. WICCD is actively anti-racist and anti-colonial, employing an intersectional lens in all its advocacy.
